Use cases

Vendor Tax Compliance Screening

A procurement team onboarding a new Texas-based supplier checks whether the vendor holds an active direct pay permit, which signals that the company self-remits sales and use tax directly to the state rather than paying it through vendors, a practice typically reserved for large, established buyers with significant purchasing volume.

KYB Address Corroboration

A fintech lender verifying a business loan applicant cross-references the applicant's claimed address against the address on file with the Texas direct pay permit registry to detect inconsistencies that may indicate misrepresentation or stale business records.

B2B Sales Territory Prospecting

A sales team targeting high-volume commercial buyers in the Austin market uses the permit list to identify companies large enough to qualify for direct pay status, since permit holders are typically enterprises with substantial purchasing activity, making them strong candidates for enterprise procurement contracts.
